Rustad, Martha E.H. Let’s Go to the Library.


Rustad, Martha E.H.  Let’s Go to the Library.  Capstone Publishers  2013  24p  ISBN 978-1-62065-093-6 series: Wonderful World of Reading  elem  VG    Nonfiction

Geared toward elementary students, this book provides young readers with basic facts about libraries.  Young students gain a basic understanding of what one can find in a library.  From books to computers and librarians and visiting authors and guests, students can use the library for a wide variety of purposes.  Students can access an online card catalog to search for books or ask a librarian for assistance.  In addition to the online card catalog, students can use the library’s computers to access web sites to play computer games or find educational sites.  The author addresses manners and how one uses a quiet voice in a library. 

The
book includes color photographs, easy-to-comprehend sentences, a glossary of terms, a list of recommended books, an index, and a special code to access FactHound, an internet web site providing additional information. 

As of this review, four titles have been published in the series Wonderful World of Reading to introduce young readers to the joys of books and reading.  Titles include How Books Are Made, Let’s Go to the Library, Parts of a Book, and Reading Is Everywhere.      

Summary: “Simple text and photographs describe what libraries are, what you can do there, and how kids should behave.”
